2011 Nissan Quest

DT: Loser Like the Murano CrossCabriolet, the Quests interior in top-trim form is remarkably upscale. Id say it's ahead of the Honda Odyssey Touring Elite in that regard. However, the interior is set up like that of a three-row crossover, without a second-row bench seat to accommodate more children. Having lots of children is one of the reasons people consider a minivan over a crossover, so even if I liked the boxy shape, it wouldnt solve that dilemma. JW: Winner There's always room for another high-quality vehicle, which is what the Quest show van appeared to be. Anyone who doesn't want captain's chairs in the second row will look elsewhere, but anyone for whom it's not a problem should know this one seems like a winner. KM: Winner In terms of styling, the Quest falls somewhere between the left-field Odyssey and mainstream Toyota Sienna. The seats fold as easily as those in a crossover, and there's a minivan-size storage well behind the third row. MH: Winner After a somewhat disappointing effort with the previous-generation Quest, Nissan has come back strong with the latest version of the minivan. The interior looks sharp, and despite the unorthodox way the third row folds, it doesn't look like passenger or cargo space has been compromised. The exterior is still distinctive, but it's not trying too hard anymore.
